What's so special about heirloom tomatoes?  The idea that an heirloom is a  variety that has been grown by generations and passed down from person to person is really very fascinating.

Featured tomato: Chocolate Cherry

Chocolate cherry tomato. I've seen a lot of claims for the blackest tomato but I think the little Chocolate Cherry wins hands down. The inset picture shows it compared to a red tomato. It is dark, rich brown with green seed gel. It is a sweet little jolly to pop in your mouth when working in the garden. And, it's healthier than red tomatoes because it is higher in antioxidants than red ones. These are great on a vegetable dip platter and it really looks attractive if you have a mix of black, red, white, green, and yellow cherry type tomatoes This is an indeterminate tomato and the fruit is borne in clusters of 8 or so.
